Volleyball

I've stated before that I'm not a fan of sports and I don't play them often because I'm so unco-ordinated, but recently I've developed a taste for volleyball. My roommate and a friend joined a rec league and formed a team with some other people I know and they play every Sunday. After Institute on Wednesdays I've played a few times with friends from church and it's been alright but nothing to really shout about. Well since Jordan and company started playing in the rec league they decided to get a bit of practice in on Wednesday nights so I've been picking up games with them and I've really enjoyed it.

I've decided that I like it so much because different team members have actually taken the time to correct the silly little things that I was doing wrong. I now serve really well most of the time and I'm better at remembering not to just defensively throw my hands up at the ball but to keep my hands linked to bump it or make a half of a fist and hit it with my palm. I'm really excited because while I'm still not great at this I've been improving and it's really fun. I still don't want to do any really competitive stuff but I'm really liking it for recreational purposes. I think when I get paid I'm going to run by Dick's Sporting Goods and pick up a volleyball :-) that way Jordan and I have our own to practice with. I think also we're both going to sign up to play at Spike for the Cure next month so YAY I've actually found a sport that I like.

Here's a few pics from Jordan's rec league playing...
